2. Goals for this Presentation Teach myself how to use Power Point To show you the amazing world of the hydraulic cycle To re-educate you on things you learned in intro to Geography and have since forgotten I would love to make this learning experience fun and entertaining Continue the trend of making fun of Al Gore.

3. Pretty picture of the Water Cycle®

4. The 3 Major Components of the Water Cycle Evaporation Condensation Precipitation

5. Which comes first?

6. Evaporation This the first step in the water cycle. Occurs when the water in oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, puddles, swimming pools, or any other concentration of water is warmed up by the Sun. The heat adds energy to matter. This in turn causes the molecules to move faster, bouncing off of each other, they move further and further apart till they become gaseous. The water then becomes, vapour.

7. Most ill picture of Evaporation I could find on the interweb

8. 2 nd Graders’ Picture of Evaporation

9. Another over simplified example of Evaporation

10. Condensation Once the sun heats the water molecules to the point where they become a vapour in the air, this warm air then rises high into the atmosphere where temperatures are a lot colder. The air cools down and the vapour turns back into water. This is where clouds are formed. Yay clouds!

11. Good Condensation

12. Bad Condensation You best be usin a coaster under that glass!

13. Good Idea, Lance. Thank you.

14. Fog

15. Great South American Exports

16. The Humboldt Current Discovered by Alexander Von Humboldt(Prussian) It creates year round upwelling in Peru. Not so much in Chile Approximately 20% of the worlds fish catch comes from this Large Marine Environment

19. Precipitation When a large enough amount of water droplets form 'inside' a cloud, they become heavy enough to fall to Earth. This is usually observed as rain, but Precipitation can also occur as snow, hail, sleet, etc., depending on temperatures and humidity.

20. 3 most common forms of Precipitation Snow Rain Hail

21. Snow

22. Real Snow

23. Snow in action

24. Science and recreation on the snow Testing the snow pack Snowboarding and skiing

30. What happens when warm air and cold air meet? When a front of cold air, which is low pressured, moves over a front of warm air, which is high pressured. The friction of the cold air sinking and hot air rising creates high wind speeds and the winds follow the path of the cold air spiraling down. In short a tornado may occur.

34. Where does all this precipitation go? Drainage and runoff

35. Drainage Patterns

36. Dentritic; basic drainage. Tributaries coming together to form a larger river Rectangular; this form of drainage is most common in areas with lots of fault lines Angular or radial; This drainage is at the peak of the mountain or hill Trellis; multiple small sources flow into a larger body at almost an acute angle Contorted; this type of drainage appears in areas where there has been much change in the geography of the land Parallel; many tributaries come together on a more steep then usual downhill slope

37. Most Common Patterns Dentritic Parallel

38. More Drainage Trellis Angular or radial

39. More Drainage Contorted Rectangular
